"After review by the ship’s technicians, it was determined that device was not operational," spokesman Vance Gulliksen says. In a statement to New Times, Carnival says its security team handled the incident appropriately and thoroughly. "They said that it had probably been left there by a previous guest, but there was a layer of dust on top that had been there longer than just the previous guest," the father says. Despite the device being warm to the touch, the family says Carnival insisted the camera was nonfunctioning and seemed to downplay the discovery. But much to the family's disappointment, they say, the officer contaminated the evidence by handling the camera without gloves. The couple called Carnival's security team, which sent an officer to their cabin to inspect the device.
"I asked my wife, 'What is this? Is that what I think it is?' We both just went white as ghosts." "It was a WTF moment, you know?" he says. When he moved the TV, he says, he found a wired-up camera with its lens pointed toward the bed. The father, whom New Times is not naming to protect his family's privacy, says he was taking photos of dust around the cabin after having an allergy attack. The family, a married couple from the Panhandle traveling with their 10-year-old son, says they found the camera while inspecting their room the second day of an October cruise from Mobile, Alabama, to Mexico.
HIDDEN SPY CAM IN HOTEL ON FAMILY VACATION TRIP TV
On a recent Carnival cruise to Cozumel, one Florida family says they found a small camera connected to a transmitting device that had been hidden behind the wall-mounted TV set in their cabin. The scenario is especially problematic in hotel rooms, Airbnb rentals, and other vacation properties, where most people assume a certain level of privacy. Product developers have gotten so good at hiding spy cams that one manufacturer recently told a Houston TV station that everyone should "always assume you’re being watched, no matter where you are." Smaller than ever, camera lenses can now be hidden in everything from tissue boxes to electrical outlets to shampoo bottles. Toilet iguanas.īut among the scariest developments is the steady technological improvement of spy cameras. In the dystopian world also known as "2017," there are a lot of things to be afraid of.
